SUNDAY IN SALTWATER
Rev. W. HI. Albright. of Auburn, N
", Likely 10 Occupy the Firs
Presbyterian Esulpit.

Rev. W. 81. Albright. late of Auburn. n.
Y, addressed the congregation at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday morning,
from the text, 1T is good that a man
should both hope and Quitely wait for the
salvation of the Lord" Lamentations iii, &c.
The speaker remarked that the present age
presented many things Of rapid growth and
development which the world would be vastly
better off without. There were many socie-
ties which grew and flourished, but which had
for their object the selfish pleasl 9 Of their
members more than the lasting good of hu-
manity. These were transient institutions
and not like the church of GCd, which
would continue to live when they had
persisted and whose existence far preceded
theirs. 1t was stable ami firm. There were
two views taken Of the salvation of the world,
widely different in character, and which a
man should shun, leaning neither to one or
the other. but should take medium ground
between the two. One was the rose-tinted
view of the religious zealot and enthusiast,
who believed in the worlds immediate con-
version, and the other was that of the skep-
tic who, because it was not accomplished at
opcey haa, He faith in its final fulfllment.
Tnrssei; things man must exercise besides
making personal effort in that direction, and
these were patience, time and hope. The
world would not be converted in a moment.
but by mans exertion and Gods blessing and
assistance, it would be accomplished in His
own good time.
The sermon was filled with illustrations.
and was clear and forcible. Mr.. Albright
will probably be called to locate here perma-
nently. so favorable was the impression
created by him yesterday.

was turned in from the GLOBE Office. which
brought the department in q few minutes to

was found to be on fire. The firemen, with
more valor than discretion, soon drowned out
the fire, combining it to the place where il
started. a wooden building adjoining was
not even smoked. The building damaged
was an old wooden stru cture, 20x60, story
and half high, and was owned by Murphy i
